　　 7月26日晚8點，作為成龍接班人選舉的《龍的傳人》大型電視選拔活動圓滿的、響亮的句號，《決勝長城——“龍的傳人”大型電視選拔活動頒獎典禮》在北京八達嶺長城舉行，頒獎典禮可謂星光燦爛，成龍、韓三平、吳宇森（John Woo）、徐克（Tsui Hark）、唐季禮、陳道明等走上紅地毯作為開獎和頒獎嘉賓。這次參加成龍親傳弟子選舉活動的全球報名選手達20多萬人，經過一年多的嚴格選拔，昨晚終於揭曉了。
　　著名國際導演吳宇森、徐克、陳道明作為開獎嘉賓，揭曉了《龍的傳人》前三強。塗聖成（Jack Tu）成為最大贏家，除摘得冠軍頭銜外，還被成龍欽點為親傳弟子，塗聖成將跟隨成龍，學習國際化電影製作全過程。成龍還表示，他不但要教塗聖成如何演電影，還有教他如何進行電影的後期製作和剪接。成龍更是將父親勉勵自己的“自強不息”四個字送給自己新收的愛徒。另外，現場還揭曉了《龍的傳人》亞季軍，分別是楊政和易揚。
　 《龍的傳人》活動結束後，中影集團、成龍影業集團、北京電視臺、英皇星藝、紫禁城影業集團將聯合打造3部現代題材動作電影，將由塗聖成主演的驚悚動作片《速遞206》、謝天主演的心理驚悚片《不告訴你》和楊政主演的跑酷題材電影《熱帶氣旋》。成龍將擔任3部影片的出品人。
　　塗聖成是我們美國無極功夫學院的學生，曾在我院受過嚴格專業的訓練。塗聖成出生在武術世家，他父親塗金盛是著名的氣功大師，他們兄妹四人從小便在父親與爺爺的嚴厲教導下習武，6歲的時候塗聖成更是被送到山上修行。塗聖成也拜過很多著名武術家為師，美國無極功夫學院院長何濤是他在美國的師父，何濤是世界傑出功夫大師，他曾教過的學生在世界各種武術大賽中獲得過一百多個冠軍。塗聖成是他最得意的徒弟，為準備這次成龍全世界範圍內親傳弟子的選拔活動，何濤師父為塗聖成做了大量的準備工作和專業的訓練。這次他代表無極功夫學院參加“龍的傳人”全球電視選拔賽一舉奪得冠軍，被成龍欽點為親傳弟子，可喜可賀。
　　我們希望塗聖成再接再厲，努力學習功夫巨星成龍的能演、能導和能編輯的高超技能，進軍國際電影界，成為新一代的動作電影明星。
